But, seriously, what are the odds?
I think Nadal here is just a teaser here. He is just after an injury, he is playing in Mexico on clay this week. Provided , he makes it to the finals ( which, I tihnk, he will ),
he'll play on Sunday night, 6-7 hours from here flight-wise ( Acapulco ), and do you expect him to play on indoors hard with all his injuries after that? Leave alone that with time difference he will have to take the first early morning flight just to get here in time.
He'll withdraw, and people will get someone like Roddick or Isner instead. Almost certain.
